Ever seen a cellphone that sells out within a couple of hours after its launch? Those who are in Korea will have heard of the CAN U DMB handset being snapped up within 120 minutes by avid art collectors. Perhaps the appeal in the canU701D lies in the handset design that boasts artwork from 10 famous cartoonists and painters. All these different cellphones that feature various masterpieces will be sold on different days to give everyone an even chance of snapping up their favorite artist’s latest works. This CAN U DMB is the 6th model of the CAN U series, featuring a generous 2.6″ display. It will retail for $535 a pop when released to the public next month.
